Configuring client devices

Client devices on the local network must be configured with Gateway and DNS settings. This can be done statically on each
device, or using DHCP
Manual Configuration:
Manually set a static gateway address (being the address of the Console Server) and set the DNS server address to be the
same as used on the external network i.e. if the Console Server is acting as an internet gateway or a cellular router, then use
the ISP provided DNS server address.
DHCP Configuration:
• Navigate to the System:IP page
• Click the tab of the interface connected to the internal network. To use DHCP , a static address must be set; check that the
static IP and subnet mask fields are set.
• Click on the Disabled link next to DHCP Server which will bring up the System: DHCP Server page
• Check Enable DHCP Server
• To configure the DHCP server, tick the Use interface address as gateway check box
• Set the DNS server address(es), lease times, allocation pools and pre-assigned IP addresses; as detailed previously in
Chapter 3.6.2
Once applied, devices on the internal network will be able to access resources on the external network.
